    game conduct...am i being anal?

    I think that rules are good to have, I have a set of my own but I think I'd have trouble with your no drawing rule. 'Tis a horrible habit of mine to doodle when playing but then again, I am paying attention. I just need to keep my idle hands occupied. :D Rules always come about when just...

    [OT][Wife] My wife is going to kill me...

    Ahhh...I remember that age. My husband and I used to drop $200 a month on comic books alone. you know what made us 'grow up' and learn what should come first? Having a 'surprise'. When you have a child, it sobers you up. At least it did for us. Still, I have trouble saying no to my husband...

    [OT] Sleep Apnea, Limes, Folic Acid and Weight Loss

    My husband had one of these machines, I believe. I called him Darth Vader. It made bed time....interesting but considering how many times he stopped breathing during the sleep study, it wasn't a bad trade off. THey say just losing weight sometimes helps the apnea but in the long run there was...

    What It's Like For a Gamer Girl

    Maybe what it comes down to is if you're going to think about joining a group to play a little D&D, ask to sit in on a session first. That way if they go into areas, such as rape, you can decide not to join. I too have no problems with my gaming group and I'm one of two girls in the group...

    [Cats] Things you find in the middle of the road... (big picture included)

    Good for you! I worked with someone who helped abandoned kittens for PAWS. This included feeding kittens with a kitty bottle. I hope you find good homes for them besides the one they're currently in. My cat just turned 13 this Sunday (he's black too...must be his year to shine!).

    Orcs and 10'x10' Rooms

    This new 10x10 rule concerning horses prompted me to yell one session "Quick! Put the horse in front of us!" When charging orcs were seen coming down a small path.

    Wasting skill points on 'background' skills

    Whether or not it's a waster of skills points, at lest you used your points because o your background. I had a player would wanted to get 'free' skills because his mother/father were in that field. Ummm, no? So if you're more into a 'Role' playing game instead of a 'Roll' playing one, who...

    A momentary lapse of good DM judgement killed all my players.

    I absolutely agree with you. I call it the consequences for their actions. Forget to use the gray matter betwix thy ears and face the music of your wake. My game is more heavy on the RP because the gamers are in more combat oriented games elsewhere and I'm there 'break' between kill sessions...

    What It's Like For a Gamer Girl

    I, being one of those supposedly "rare" female gamers, think you've fallen in with a bad bunch of boys who could use a right good spanking. I know for a fact that not all male gamers are this way. Of course, I've always been a bit of a tomboy and love the fact at the only child I've been...

    A momentary lapse of good DM judgement killed all my players.

    Re: Re: A momentary lapse of good DM judgement killed all my players. I personally like to put encounters here and there (too too frequently mind you) that are a little beyond the party so they learn there are other ways to get past something besides killing it. Avoiding an encounter, in my...

    [humor] The Top Ten Things you don't want a new player to say at the first game...

    Re: Re: hey!! Wow. The kid was screaming and they ignored them?!?! I really did have a 'good' baby! We brought our son where we gamed (of course it helps that the DMs were the Godparents) and he was helpful not a screaming little hell spawn.

    Is Your DM Too Controlling?

    I was wondering the same thing when I started reading this thread. Granted, I can't say I have that problem with my group and we've gamed together quite a bit. Have you tried online gaming? This is the only way I game now (yes I miss getting together with friends but they aren't playing...

    Crazy Quotes from my Group....

    Last night in the online game I play in, our paladin died. The person playing her anticipated this happening (half of the party was down and there was no way she was going to be go to before reaching -10). She had her next character ready to go and as perr roleplaying, she had to gain the...

    [OT] Herb Brooks dead. Sad day USA

    I saw this on PTI today and was like 'WHAT?!?!?!' My heart just sank to the floor. I'm a big Hockey fan and an avid Penguins freak. Herb Brooks was a big part of their organization. Go with God, Herb, and know you will be missed deeply.:(

    Cry Foul or Fair?

    HAH! I've had this threat before!!!!:D But seriously, I'd also like to clarify a few things. First, I did not post here to 'complain' but to ask others for their opinions. As stated, this is an online game and played a lot different than the 'round table' format. EVERYONE does XPs a...

    Cry Foul or Fair?

    Oh he hands them out according to the CRs and what not , he's just very slow at doing them. I, on one hand, can understand it a little because I do DM too but I feel at the lower levels it is crucial to divy them out sooner than later. We also use the system where we don't send xps out unless...

    Cry Foul or Fair?

    I am located in Central PA. The only time I get to Pittsburgh is to see a Steelers or Penguins game and to visit my numerous relatives in the area. As to the Diplomacy thing....seems 3.5E says it takes a full minute to do. GAH! But on the other ahdn, since we're still feeling these changes...

    Cry Foul or Fair?

    Actually I misunderstood some of his favorful text and thought my crossbow didn't harm the thing. Seeing a 'damsel in distress' (the paladin) I rushed in to attack. Then the dice Gods played their evil trick. I was surprised at the EL/CR but he's right on one thing. If we wouldn't have had...

    I bought the PDF for Tournaments, Faires, and Taverns but then picked the book up at a gaming store too.
